Day Sixty-Two...
~~*****~~
After talking to Cherry, Jane headed to the place where she would meet Vincent. He was the one who chose the restaurant where they would eat their lunch. Upon arriving at the place, Jane was surprised. It was not an ordinary restaurant, but a high-end one.
The guard stopped her from entering and said, "Miss, do you have reservation?" He sized her up from top to bottom. Majority of the female customers entering the restaurants were wearing casual dresses and high-heels.
Jane reflexively looked at her clothes. She was only wearing a simple shirt partnered with blue high-waist jeans and white sneakers. She hesitated to enter the restaurant.
'This restaurant is for socialites. Is he flexing his money?' Jane mumbled to herself. She picked up her phone to message Vincent about the reservation. She didn't know if he was already there.
Just when she was about to type her message, Vincent called her.
"Have you arrived?" He asked her in his friendly tone.
"Yes. I'm currently standing outside the restaurant. The guard is asking me about the reservation." Jane informed him.
The guard was waiting for her to show proof of reservation. He had no plan of letting her in because of her clothes.
"Wait for me. I'm going to fetch you," Vincent simply said before hanging up the call.
A few minutes later, Vincent arrived at the entrance. He was already waiting for her from the inside. When the guard saw him, he immediately greeted Vincent politely. Vincent was one of the VIP customers today.
"Why, Jane? Do you feel uncomfortable with my smile? Or do you find me gorgeous?" Vincent shamelessly asked her in a teasing tone.
Jane cocked her eyebrows while pursing her lips. "You're shameless," She frankly said.
Her last remarks made him chuckle once more. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. It's just that, I noticed that you feel a little bit tense around me. I want to lighten up the atmosphere. Don't worry, I won't bite."
Jane forced a smile. "Okay. I understand."
Jane felt relieved when the waiter finally arrived and delivered their food.
"Let's eat," Vincent said cheerfully. He seemed to be in a good mood today.
Meanwhile, as Jane and Vincent continued their conversation and began eating their lunch, someone arrived outside the restaurant. Nathan had been tracing Jane's location. Instead of assigning this task to his men, Nathan came personally.
"What is she doing here? I wonder who is going to meet here." Nathan mumbled to himself as he watched the place. This restaurant was well-known to the rich and wealthy people in Towerville City. One reservation cost a lot.
Nathan checked his phone. He could see in the tracking app that Jane was inside, specifically on the third floor. He traced his steps towards the door and was greeted by the guard.
The guard was very courteous toward Nathan because he recognized him as the CEO of the SYP Twilight Corp. Nathan was a regular customer of this restaurant. He often brought here his clients and business partners.
"Welcome, Sir! Do you have another business meeting here?" The guard asked Nathan.
"Yes." Nathan simply replied. Then he looked at his phone and opened his gallery. After picking one photo, he showed it to the guard. It was Jane's photo. "Have you seen this woman? May I know her booth number?"
The guard stared at his phone screen for a moment. His eyes lit up as he recognized the woman instantly. He couldn't forget her because she was the only customer who entered the restaurant in her plain shirt and jeans.
"Yes. She's inside, Sir. Booth 303." The guard gave away the booth number right away, thinking that Nathan had a business meeting with Vincent, the VIP customer there.
And just like that, Nathan managed to get Vincent and Jane's booth number. Now, all he had to do was go and check on them. Nathan was very curious about whom Jane was meeting today.Folloow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)
